Parking spaces could be removed if proposed waiting and loading restrictions across several roads in Waltham Forest get the green light.

Plans have been set out by Waltham Forest Council to introduce new waiting and loading restrictions, which would affect parking on Bisterne Avenue, Eastfield Road, Yardley Lane, and Aylmer Road.

If approved, the proposals would see 5.5 metres of permit parking space on Bisterne Avenue, E17, converted to a single yellow line outside No. 2 Bisterne Avenue. This restriction would operate Monday to Friday from 10am to 4pm, aiming to improve visibility and access to properties and prevent obstruction.

On Eastfield Road, E17, both sides of the road could see changes. On the western side, the Pay by Phone bay outside the flank wall of Ross Wyld Hall and 5 metres of residents’ parking would become double yellow lines with waiting and loading restrictions in force at any time.

Loading restrictions would also be introduced where “at any time” waiting restrictions already exist between Church Hill and Eastfield House.

On the eastern side, 17 metres of residents’ parking space could be replaced with double yellow lines “at any time” waiting restriction adjacent the flank wall of No. 19 Church Hill Eastfield House.

Yardley Lane E4’s northmost arm is also included, with double yellow lines proposed for both north and south sides “at any time” between Nos. 17/19 and No. 11/11A, aiming to create continuous waiting restrictions from Boardman Avenue.

Drafting amendments are also being proposed for existing “at any time” waiting arrangements on Aylmer Road E4, covering the north side between No. 1/-14 and the cycle hangar.

The council is inviting objections or comments on the proposals in writing for a 21-day period from the date of publication. Full documents and plans can be seen by appointment at the council offices or online at its website.
